‎MALUS Etienne Louis‎
‎Théorie de la double réfraction de la lumière dans les substances cristallisées, mémoire couronné par l'Institut, dans la séance publique du 2 janvier 1810‎

‎Paris, Garnery & Baudouin 1810 302pp. + 3 planches dépliantes hors-texte (in fine), Edition originale de 1810, 26cm., reliure solide du 19e s. (plats marbrés, dos en cuir brun avec titre et nerfs dorés), feuilles de garde marbrées, quelques pages avec légères mouillures et rousseurs, ancien ex-dono sur la fausse page de titre, bon état, [Cette publication de 1810 par Étienne-Louis Malus (1775-1812) revêt une importance capitale dans l'histoire de l'optique, car elle a contribué à établir la science de la polarisation et a fait progresser la compréhension de la double réfraction dans les cristaux. En 1808, Malus découvrit que la lumière réfléchie par des surfaces devient polarisée. Dans cette étude de 1810, il développa une théorie mathématique et physique expliquant comment la polarisation est liée à la double réfraction. Ces travaux s'avéreront essentiels pour le développement ultérieur de la théorie ondulatoire de Fresnel et de la théorie électromagnétique de Maxwell. Sa théorie, connue sous le nom de "loi de Malus", demeure aujourd'hui fondamentale dans des domaines tels que l'optique, la physique des lasers et la photographie. Son nom est l'un des 72 noms gravés dans la tour Eiffel // This 1810 publication by Etienne Louis Malus is highly important in the history of optics since it helped establish the science of polarization and advanced the understanding of double refraction in crystals. In 1808 Malus discovered that light reflected from surfaces becomes polarized. In this 1810 study he developed a mathematical and physical theory explaining how polarization relates to double refraction. It would turn out to be imporant for the development of the later wave theory by Fresnel and the electromagnetic theory by Maxwell. His theory known as "Malus's Law" remains fundamental up till now in fields such as optics, laser physics and photography. Malus' name is one of the 72 names engraved on the Eiffel tower], W121006‎
